The global issue that I found an article about was the global food crisis right now. The food prices have been rising, and in lots of countries this has resulted in food riots. In Haiti, the prices have been raised by 50-100%, which is a lot- and the Prime Minister was even forced out of office. Throughout the world, many people have been killed or injured, all because of this crisis. In this article, there were also summarizations of the recent statistics of this crisis. Global prices have risen over 83% over the past few years, wheat prices are 130% higher than they were a year ago, soy 87%, rice-74%, and maize-31%. These numbers may not seem big, but it's amazing what the effects are.
